Comments
Comments: A very nice "winter wonderland" day today with temps from 20 to 30, no wind but it snowed all day. The trail was hard packed with about 2 inches of powder down low and about 4 inches of new powder up on the ridge. I wore microspikes all day which worked well. There were 6 hikers, 4 with spikes and 2 with snowshoes. No views at all today but it was great to be out on these trails and peaks.
